Still haven't received Lollipop OTA 5.0/5.0.1/5.0.2

[Kevin-Bruce]

This is quite disconcerting! My Nexus 7 2012 Wi-Fi version 4.4.4 32GB rooted tablet hasn't received ANY of the over-hyped Lollipop upgrades. Every other OTA update/upgrade has come through with virtually no delay from the moment of announcement. Performing a factory reset hasn't helped. Should I unroot my device and then perform the reset? Should I just count my blessings and ignore the articles touting the advantages of the new OS? I've never suffered any performance issues with my N7, so, maybe I should be grateful.

Being rooted could affect whether your device gets the update or not, depending on what mods are done to the tablet. I would suggest flashing a ROM, or flashing the stock update image.

Being unlocked and rooted should not effect the OTA being offered. However, not having stock recovery will effect it.
My Nexus 7 is unlocked and rooted with stock recovery and it was offered the 5.0.2 OTA earlier this week.
The bad news is that the OTA failed to install even after doing a complete unroot and clean up. I tried side loading the OTA and it still failed but showed that the verification of the existing OS was what was causing the issue. Apparently SuperSU did not leave everything exactly as it was when it did it's cleanup.

The good news is that I found a work around. This is a best of both worlds fix as your OS will be refreshed like a factory reset but you should not lose any data.

Download and install Wug’s Nexus Root Toolkit 2.0 on your PC.
Connect your Nexus 7 to your PC and run Wug’s NRT. (you will need to have the proper N7 drivers on your PC)
Click the “Flash Stock + Unroot” button.
Select the 5.0.2 image, check the boxes to enable “No Wipe Mode” and “Force Flash Mode”.
Click OK and follow the instructions in the tool.
When complete you will have 5.0.2 installed and your apps, data and home screens should all be intact.
You will lose root but you can root with Wug's tool with the click of a button.

Mine is stock and I still haven't got it. I think they gave up.

Thanks to everyone for their responses. After carefully reading through the How-to Forum, I was able to unroot my N7 (2012) and successfully flash the Lollipop 5.0.2 factory image. So far, I haven't noticed any performance issues. Time will tell, however!

Two devices in ours, both running 4.4.4 have both received the 'Update Available' notification in the past hour.

My N7 2012 tells me that 5.0.2 has downloaded....not sure what to do with it. I have not received 5.0. I'm tempted to delete the download but don't know how....seems like I may be better off staying with version 4?

5.0.2 is 5, plus patches. So while its a complete OS, bringing you up-to-date, it is a patch on an OS that has certainly continues to have significant issues as an 'update' as reported across Nexus devices.
In my own case, my N7 went thru both 5 (a terrible, terrible, half-baked OS with lots of stability issues, even when using Google's own apps) and is now running 5.0.2, installed and after a Factory Reset. It still is not as stable or fluid as it was with 4.4 and the 'features' that came with Lollipop are certainly not worth the trouble, in my instance.

Maybe 5.1 (reportedly due next month) will fix everything and all will be forgiven, but given my druthers (and in hindsight), I'd have stuck with 4. But in answer to your other question, I'm not sure how to delete the OS download. Users shouldn't have to be seriously considering such a question, but Google seriously dropped the ball with Lollipop and its staggered release of the OS only exacerbates the problems.

Thanks Bazza. I think I'll continue to ignore it. Glad to hear 5.1 is coming.
